John, A thought. Are you using wee_reports external or just allowing weewx to generate the reports per archive interval?

John, I was intrigued as niculskin is not that complex and in its index.html.tmpl template it just uses plain $current.dateTime (line 39) to display 'Last updated'. So it should be respecting the standard date/time formats in niculskin/skin.conf (there are no overrides in weewx.conf - unless the user had some there before the niculskin install). Still intrigued I fired up a debain VM running weewx/simulator and installed niculskin using wee_extension. I don't know whether you encountered any runtime errors after install but I had to (1) manually install the skins/niculskin/RSS directory and (2) edit niculskin/skin.conf and under [niculskinLabels] [[conditions]] I had to change extra_1_temp_humidity to extra1_temp_humidity and extra_2_temp_humidity to extra2_temp_humidity. None of these should affect date-time formats though. When run out of the box (with the aforementioned changes and language = in niculskin/skin.conf) the 'Last updated' line in index.html was (sorry VM is not publicly accessible): <p><i class="fa fa-clock-o" ></i> Last updated 22/01/17 12:50:00</p> When I make the following change to /niculskin/skin.conf: [Units] [[TimeFormats]] current = %d %b %Y I get: <p><i class="fa fa-clock-o" ></i> Last updated 22-Jan-2017 12:40</p> As it should be. Not that it matters but my locale is coming up AU: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_AU:en LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Seems to me that everything is working as it should, I cannot find fault with niculskin. Personally I don't like making the change skin = niculskin under [StdReport] [[StandardReport]] in weewwx.conf as the [[StandardReport]] will tend to lead some people to skins/Standard/skin.conf (rather than skins/niculskin/skin.conf) if they want to change something like a date or time format but again that is just an ease of use issue and would not change the date-time format. I'll give it some more thought but I am tending to think it is something peculiar to your install.

Dates are in dd/mm/yy format The "problem" does not seem to lay with Weewx but with underlaying code in the Nico's skin somehow ignoring or overriding weewx.conf. A pity because I really like that skin ... John in NZ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
